Resolved Question: Is There Anyone Out There that can Help me Understand Ex-Girlfriend??? So tired of living in a Lie...?
Hello everybody! This is going to be a pretty long story so please bear with it! I will give good ratings for anyone that gives me an honest opinion Basically I need help understanding my ex-girlfriend because back about 2 months ago she broke up with me because she said that she fell out of love with me. Although this happened she still sometimes said that she is in love with me and does love me. That's not the worst part though because I introduced her to one of my ex-friends who was having problems with his girlfriend because she was still adjusting to college. My ex-friend and my ex-girlfriend then started hanging out with each other a lot including going out to dinner and him coming over at night to her dorm. Well after a few days of this, my ex-girlfriend spent the night at his apartment and I went over there despite knowing it was wrong but my gut instinct told me I should which I don't know if should feel bad about it? Before that she also told me that they kissed each other and they weren't drunk but at the same time she said the first thing she thought about was that his lips weren't my lips and that it was a quick kiss. It still devastated me because the worst part is that while she was crying and admitted it, I spent the night with her because I'm still in love with her and cuddled up next to her holding her tight. After that happened, she said she was done with him and that nothing was going to happen between them because she doesn't have a crush on him anymore. She also promised to me that she was done with him and wanted to work on our relationship. However, a few weeks later I found out that they were sending texts to each other and that he would use phrases like "I love ya" and my ex-girlfriend would say "laterz love" or "muah" when ending conversations with him. He would still also ask my ex-girlfriend if she wanted to spend the night and wanted to hang out when he dropped his girlfriend off back on campus. Also, it seemed from their text messages that both of them were going I told my ex-girlfriend that I looked through her texts because I felt horrible about it afterwards but she yelled at me that I violated her privacy and that I had no right to which I know I didn't and I promised her I would never do it again. She told me that she didn't want to be confrontational with my ex-friend and that she didn't want to call him out on things and that her strategy was to ignore him and refuse his offers. However, 2 days ago I did the stupidest thing again and went through her cell phone again when she was in the shower and once again he asked her but this time she said that would be fun and the word affair was thrown in somewhere by my ex-friend in one of the messages. When I confronted my ex about this and asked if she texted him lately, all she said that he asked her to go to the movies which was in the text but not about spending the night. She still doesn't know that I snooped around again because my intuition told me and I feel like I'm selling my principles and I don't want to confront her about it. Please help because I'm so tired about being confused... My ex-girlfriend is sad to and she asked for some space because she said that she didn't have the time or effort for a relationship but I'm afraid if I do my ex-friend will try to steal her away again? I'm just so tired being dragged along also. I cry to myself everyday because I'm still in love with her and can see myself with her in the future. She still wears my clothes and wears my promise ring on her left-ring finger still and it hurts when I see that.I also bring her flowers once in awhile and she is always happy when I give them to her. Is there please anyone out there that can interpret this for me and give me some advice please:-( I need to protect myself to but I want to stay with her... -Broken Heart read more...

When you move into an apartment you are leasing, you may feel like you have every right to make changes so that you feel at home. But you need to check with your landlord to see if your changes are ok with him or her. Depending on the changes that are to be made, your landlord may offer to pay for the materials that you will need to complete the repairs and fix-ups. When making your request to make changes, it is best to make the request both verbally and written, keeping a copy of the written request so that it can be documented.

Landlords may only want repairs to be done by themselves or by their maintenance crew. This can prevent any claims from the tenant that the work was done improperly. But if the landlord agrees to allow the tenant to make changes you should keep track of what changes the landlord has agreed that you can make and when they were started and finished. Any and all documentation can be very important later on down the road if the amicability of you and your landlord becomes strained.

When you require repairs to be fixed you should also do the request both verbally and written for documentation purposes as well. This way you will know that the landlord has received the request. For instance if your refrigerator stops working, you can request an emergency work order because the food is spoiling. Or if a window does not close properly, getting it fixed can be a high priority if the weather outside is below freezing.

Fixing up an apartment can be a lot of fun because you can play around with ideas such as painting rooms in different colors or building extra storage areas. When painting you should always make sure that it is ok because your landlord may request that it be painted the original color when you move. Knowing this beforehand can go a long ways into the decision of how you want to fix-up your new home. And building an extra closet could be a feasible request, but the landlord may have some restrictions on how it is built since it will, more than likely, be left when you move out.

Landlords can have a lot of rules and regulations when it comes to their tenants fixing up their apartments or rentals. By making requests for repairs or permission to fix-up the apartment both written and verbally you can be assured that the request is documented. Documentation of all activity such as this can go a long way in making sure that both parties are on the same page.
